Computer-Based Assessment of Schema Knowledge in a Flexible Problem- Solving Environment

Abstract

This report describes assessment of students' schema knowledge for arithmetic word problems. The assessment takes place on-line as students interact with the computer program. The instruction that precedes the assessment, the environment in which students exhibit their knowledge, and the assessment of that knowledge all derive from one core theory of learning and memory, schema theory. This report outlines the schema theory briefly and describes the assessment is based, and the strategies of students observed through such assessment.
